UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
PETER H N ILES, OF BOSTON, ASSIGNOR TO HTMSELF AND AUGUSTUS RUSS, OF CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS.
IIVIPROVED MODE 0F ATTACHING THE SIDES 0F SHEET METAL TO EACH OTHER.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 55,016, dated May 22, 1866.
, ing a part of this specification.
To enable others skilled in theart to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
In the construction ofthe joints of cans, boxes, hoops, pipes,-andy other utensils made of sheet metal, it is Very desirable to dispense with the operation of soldering the seams or joints, which now requires a stove or heating apparatus, fuel, solderilig-coppers, a proper iluX, solder, Snc., and the manipulations of a skilled mechanic. In my invention these are dispensed with by the substitution of a lock or rivet-joint made by cutting and stamping the sheet metal in a peculiar form, as hereinafter described.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l represents the piece of sheet metal composing the body ofthe can cut and stamped ready to be formed, b representing the lips which are formed of the lower half of a circle andare struck inward, and c representing the lips which are formed of the upper halt' ot' a circle and are struck outward. Fig. 2 shows the outer surface of the joint a as formed. Fig. 3 shows the inner surface of the joint c when formed.
I stamp the edges or margin ot' the metal to forni the body of the can or box with semicircular vertical lips b and c, Fig. 1, forming, respectively, the upper, c, and lower, b, halt' of opposite circles, which are struck through the metal, one of the lips projecting slightly inward and the other suficiently outward to admit one lip to slide under and the other over its opposite. I then interlace the lips b and c closely, and by compression interlock them substantially, and thus form the rivet-joint a, Figs. 2 and 3, which closely resemble a flush rivet.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The lips b and c, interlocked so as to form the rivet-joint a, substantially and for the uses and purposes above described.
P. H. NILES.
